I loved the style and idea of this hotel with the super compact and snug rooms and ideal with prices for property in Dublin. Perfect for a business traveler but would be a tight squeeze for a couple. Love all the attention to detail and luxury touches in the room although I daresay the Aircon needs a good clean as I only had it on for half an hour and made me cough.

Amazing find

This was an amazing last minute find! The property was so cute and had so many spots to take great photos. It was centrally located so we walked everywhere and it’s super safe. The on-site bar was such a chill place to kick back and have drinks in a quieter atmosphere. Will DEFINITELY be staying here again.

Best location. I appreciated the size - I find that there's a lot of wasted space in typical hotel rooms anyway. Staff was fantastic. My best recommendation is to check out Fallon & Byrne around the corner - it's a high end market that has great items for picnics and other food to go. I also picked up a pair of hiking shoes at Trespass around the other corner; there are a number of outdoor-outfitter shops on this block. Irish Design Shop is also just a block away.

Everyone was wonderful, great location....I do wish there was a small bit of space at the end of the "nest" so I didn't have to crawl over my husband, but I knew that going in. :)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The tiny 'nest' room made of the minimal space. All was clean and well-tended. But it is truly tiny, and I'm not sure how comfortable you'd be with more than one suitcase to open - but a party of one can manage pretty well! The location was the main negative for me. While in a great location for walking to Grafton St., St. Stephens Green etc., it's tucked into a back alley, and pretty hard to locate until you're familiar. Both Google and Apple GPS struggled with directions. Also, be prepared to carry your luggage down stairs to get to the lower-level reception desk. The electronic controls for all lights, curtains, etc., were great once you worked them out, but it was a frustrating time after a long flight trying to figure them out. You might ask for a quick overview before you go to your room.

The hotel is close and convenient to all the tourist sights. The staff was friendly and helpful and quick to make an adjustment when we needed. Although the rooms are snug by North American standards we were comfy and it was very quiet. The breakfast was also very nice. Would recommend for a few quick nights in Dublin.

The vegan chocolate tart was 10/10. Room was fine clean. But I underestimated how small it actually was going to be but that’s on me. But also some hooks and a different shaped sink would have made all the difference.
